Palliative Care: When the Outcome Is Already Decided

What happens when healing is no longer the goal?

In this episode, I sit down with Anne, a licensed psychotherapist and palliative care social worker, to explore the emotional and psychological realities of end-of-life care—where addiction, mental health, and dignity intersect in ways we rarely talk about.

Through powerful real-life stories, we unpack what it means to support someone when the outcome is already known… when sobriety isn’t always possible… and when the focus shifts from fighting to acceptance.

This conversation challenges everything we think we know about recovery, control, and what it means to truly care for someone.

If you’ve ever struggled with letting go, with needing to “fix,” or with redefining what healing looks like—this episode will stay with you.
